Case: Does not care, should I? There's a student who comes into class and just doesn't care. We try to get him to learn and do work but he says it's pointless. I discovered that this student doesn't have a father and his mother is on every drug imaginable. How can I expect this student to do any work at all or even give a shit about anything we do in school when he has to think about where he's sleeping at night. Everything I can teach him in a classroom means nothing, why should he even care? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) This is a perfect example of how the out-of-school environment affects the in-school environment. First and foremost I'd open a channel for some dialogue with the student. If you learned about these details about the student outside of the classroom, then maybe he may need someone to talk to. Depending on how serious the situation a report may need to be filed to the appropriate authorities. There are avenues you can take to hopefully change the out-of-school environment in positive manner, which in turn will affect the behavior of the troubled student. I feel that ignoring the behavior wrong solution to this problem. Sometimes even showing that you care about the student can influence ideal behavior. |
